Byron Murphy: Everything you need to know

Murphy recorded two sacks and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl. The Seahawks' front seven dominated in the trenches all game, bringing Patriots QB Drake Maye down six times. Murphy looked phenomenal, recording his first sacks since Week 13 while also helping shut down the Patriots' running backs to just 42 yards on 13 carries. The 2024 first-round pick finished the 2025 season with 71 tackles (28 solo), and 9.0 sacks through 20 games, including the postseason.

Murphy finished with six tackles (three solo), including one for a loss, in Monday's 27-19 win over the Texans. The nose tackle has recorded multiple stops in all seven games this season and is up to 4.5 sacks. Murphy has firmly established himself as a centerpiece of one of the league's best defenses.

Murphy recorded four total tackles (one solo), including 2.0 sacks, during Sunday's 20-12 win over the Jaguars. Murphy tied DeMarcus Lawrence for the team lead in sacks during Sunday's win. The 2024 first-round pick from Texas has had an incredible start to his second NFL season, tallying 23 total tackles, including 4.5 sacks, through Seattle's first six games. He appears to be emerging as one of the league's premier interior pass rushers and will look to build on another strong performance when the Seahawks face the Texans in Week 7.
